Hi Frozzt, really inspiring concepts, likes the style too, keep it up, looking forward to your progress :wink:

#82

nr5 is coming out very nicely :thumbsup: he looks huge! i liked the idea of hand being much longer than the legs for nr5.

about the new design of the creature living inside her body… it reminds me more of those creatures from the movie THE MIST. somehow i still love that 5th design in that set of creature living inside, may be you can have both of them coming out together… Great Going! :buttrock:

#83

Excellent concept. I really like the rendering of your works.

I like the idea of parasites or creatures living inside her but I think that the head of this creature should be single out so it could be more distinctive.
I like more the first versions 1 and 4 I mean.
Great work!

#84

wow I really like the last creature it looks meaner than the previous one great job :buttrock:

#85

beautiful work so far, really refreshing :slight_smile:

#86

Hi Niklas,
I like how you are approaching your design process, it seems to me a lot more appealing as would be natural that a character evolves and decide by itself which class is going to belong to
Great work!
Best

cylstudio81: Thanks alot man, that means a lot to me! :slight_smile:

namnocilis: Hey, thanks! Yea thats the idea actually, the 5th(spermthingy or “soulcarriers”) was a being of its own, She gives birth to those soulcarriers which in its turn can eject couls which grows into a tree, yea sounds a bit complicated i know. And those other insect like creatures are living inside of here rear(works like a nest for them, you’ll see :wink: ), they live in symbiosis with her but she doesnt give birth to them. Hope thats clears it up a bit! :slight_smile: Thanks again!

didom: Hi! Thank you for your thoughts! ok so you like 1 and 4 from the previsou batch better, the problem with most in the first batch i think was they looked to goofy and a bit funny, i want it to be agressive. Maybe i need to do somekind of blend between the last one and those in the batch. I’ll see what i can come up with. Thanks m8! :slight_smile:

nellement: Thanks man, thats really what i was aiming for. :wink:

Intervain: Thank you! :slight_smile:

MrRico: Hey! Yea i dont want to decide everything before i go to work, the moment i take away some creativity from the process, i lose inspiration. I want to keep developing the design while i do modelsheet aswell so i dont lose interest. Thanks alot for your comment! :slight_smile:

I know i wrote that i was gonna have a slow start , turns out i didnt and instead I’m gonna take a pause in a day or two for maybe 2-3 weeks. I need to do some paintings for another project im working on.
I’ve now started on the modelsheet, side/front/back view… I want to get most of the stuff done so i can start with the final image as soon as i can since im gonna lose 3 weeks. Anyway, I’ll try to get something up before i start working on my other paints… Thanks everyone for the wonderful support shown, it helps me alot and keeps me motivated! :slight_smile: Keep up the good work everyone!! Kick ass!

So glad you took this direction with the character, cause it doesn’t resemble anything I’ve seen before. I’d like to see it next to the other character to see how big it really is.

Good luck with your other paintings!

#89

Nice man! I am liking these. It reminds me of the forest spirit from the movie Princess Mononoke.

Keep it up! :smiley:

#90

Man your characters are really really beautiful, I can wait to see a sketch of the final composition with all of them inside :wink:

Cheers!! :beer:

#91

nice update Niklas,

I really like the legs on these characters. Specially the paws on that furry creature. The roots growing out of his back makes for a really cool silhouette. Keep it up man!!

#92

Hey FrozZT.

I like the furry tree thingy. It’s a badass design I think, except a couple things…

First and foremost. I think the face looks way to … cute … to be put into this design.

Overall I think the design itself is fairly creepy, and I think that a cute head would add to the creepy factor a lot, but if done right.

As is, the head on this thing feels like it belongs on one of those fluffy sheep dogs. Not a good mix with the body it’s sitting on.

Good rendering though, forms are reading great.

#93

Very nice concepts,the last one is the best!:slight_smile:

#94

GaeasHerald, Hatonacat, Silkcats, facosta, adib, Thank you guys so much for the support! Its very much appriciated! I’ll try to get back to everyones threads, right now i’m a bit stressed so it might take a little while, but i’ll check everyones stuff out when i get time for it… :wink:

Sepulverture: Yea i get what you mean, I do like the head design very much but im not sure its quite there yet… I kind of like how it sticks out a bit though, but i agree that its a bit too cute, especially in the close up paint. Thanks for you thoughts m8! :wink:

Here’s what I’ve got so far on my sideview. Its not far from finished but might need some tightening up… Anyway, here it is, all thoughts welcome and appriciated!

#95

Your style is really distinct. I can’t wait to see how this progresses!

#96

Nice that you’ve chosen those long legs makes it more interesting

#97

Very nice. :slight_smile:
If you squint your eyes it looks like a gracious tree. Her ‘pelvis’ feels like the seed which she originally sprouted from. I’m going to refrain from commenting her ‘genitals’, let’s just say you’re brave to add something like that. :smiley:
I think her knee could be something else then a stump, I just relate that to a wound / scar (like on trees, a cut off branch f.e.)

Keep it up! :buttrock:

#98

Very nice. Love the stylized approach to this character.

It’s a little confusing though. It feels too flat to me somehow.

Cool sketch regardless. Can’t wait to see where you take it.

#99

patdunal: thanks! glad you appriciate it… :slight_smile:

nellement: Yea i wanted to give her a slight feel of a tree… Thanks! :slight_smile:

Izuael: Ill definately think of another solution for the knee, i dunno, i might do something else with her other leg… No real comment on her genitals yet, maybe people are afraid to haha… Thanks m8! :slight_smile:

Sepulverture: i dont know if you refer to the rendering or the composition of the forms… The rendering is not pushed very far in this one, if i have time i’ll probably push it more later, but i’d rather take some extra time with my final. Thank you! :slight_smile:

I’ve finally started working on my paints, i’ll be back working on the modelsheet and the final on the 16th… Keep up the great work everyone!!

This design keeps getting better and better. Great idea and a good control of value. Can’t wait to see what else you are caming up with.
